Nah, i was just kidding. I ordered this one ready-made from Malaysia on ebay a couple of years ago, and it have been with me a lap or two around the globe, so even though i am extremely pleased with it it will never give me the pride and satisfaction yours must give you. Mine did loose a chicago screw or two, but i contacted the seller and he sent me a bag of them free of charge, so at $250 i am pretty pleased with it anyway.When i first saw your, I thought "Wow, that looks almost exactly like mine", and it does unless you look at the details, really impressive work.Did you use a pattern of some sort or its your own design?

Wow, very nice work and great instructable!I was so impressed that i had a go at whipping one together myself and though i didn't do the internal pockets, some different materials, and minor design changes, but i think it's heritage is quite clear, and i am very pleased with the results.I have never worked with leather before, so it was a bit of a challenge and a new experience.A great "thank you" to you sir, very nice design!
